WOAI-TV's main anchorwoman, Elsa Ramon, announced Wednesday that she's leaving the NBC affiliate and San Antonio in December.

Ramon, who has co-anchored WOAI's 6, 6:30 and 10 p.m. news for five years and has entertained viewers with fun promos alongside co-anchor Randy Beamer that included a spoof of telenovelas, said her move is in support of her husband, Jordan Mandelberg, who's taking his “dream” job in Los Angeles.

“I cannot even describe how bittersweet this is. My husband made a sacrifice for me to come to San Antonio, and now it's time for me to exercise the give-and-take of marriage and let him follow his dream,” Ramon, a mother of two, stated in a WOAI news release.

She is looking forward to joining her husband as he begins a new position with the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, she said. “This is just an opportunity he could not turn down. It's a perfect combination of his passion for politics and love for Israel,” Ramon said.

Her last day at WOAI will be Dec. 20.

John Seabers, WOAI general manager, said: “We are saddened to lose such a quality professional as Elsa. ... Sinclair Broadcast Group believes family comes first, and we feel Elsa is doing the right thing for her family.”

Ramon said she will leave with a heavy heart and will greatly miss co-anchor Beamer, anchor Delaine Mathieu, sportscaster Don Harris and meteorologist John Gerard. “Each and every day I came to work was a joy,” Ramon added. “I will miss what became my family away from home.”
